What should i do? I don't want to go down this route again?

Question

I can feel myself getting more and more depressed again, (started when i was 13 finailly got over it when i was abour 18 after 2 suicide attempts) im 19 now and can feel it starting again, i am feeling more ignored at home, i ask a question and everyone ignores me, i ask mum to do something for me which i never ask normally n she says ignores me again, i starting to thing what is the point, and i dont want to do that, i know if it gets bad again then i will want to die again,

I have been to the doctors before but i dont really want to go on medication again, i will be going to see a counsellor when i go back to university but being at home there isnt much i can do until then

I don't want to tell my mum cuz she will just say get over it, and i dont want to tell my dad cuz i dont think he can do much

So i guess i'm asking if there is anything that you think i can d to stop it getting worse until i get back to see a consellor and my doctor?

Thanks

Answer 1

you really should go to your own g.p. for assistance as waiting until you go back to uni will be to long to wait you need the help now, your own doctor will be able to give you a mild? anti depressant and do not forget these tablets take 3 to 4 weeks to start working  

Answer 2

Well it sounds like you'd be very happy once you leave the nest.  So just keep thinking about moving out and do what it takes to get out.  You may feel better at the university around other college students and without your parents too.  You'll be fine.  College will help.

Answer 3

only thing that helps is finding people who will listen.

makes the world of difference to go new places too.

Answer 4

u have got to talk to someone. even if it's someone online who can relate. that helps me when i'm feeling down. they dont know u so they wont judge u and many ppl give great advice. i'm 34 and have suffered with depression since i was about 12 and it progressively got worse until i nearly lost EVERYTHING!! as part of a court order i now see a shrink and it's the best thing that could have happened. i know the lows u are experiencing and u need to know U ARE NOT ALONE!! i know u feel like u are and nobody understands or has ever felt as bad as u and some may not, but sooo many of us have. if u need to talk, vent, whatever, i'm here. shoot me an email!!

Answer 5

Answer 6

You sound like a child instead of the adult you are!  Boo Hoo I don't get enough attention from my parents.  Grow up for God's sakes!  Stop feeling sorry for yourself and getting yourself depressed.  Move out and be on your own if you don't like your home life!  I'm sure your family is tired of you trying to get attention by your stupid suicide attempts. Everyone KNOWS if you really wanted to die, you'd already be dead!  You don't need anything but to stop being a child and feeling sorry for yourself and get out on your own and start acting like an adult!

Answer 7

Answer 8

i am pleased that you can identify you becoming low mood not so much a depression but you do need to see your doctor and catch this well in time before you let it pull you down talk with mam and dad as thay do love you and yes it might not look like that but thay do its important to talk with them so thay can also be at help for you try some relaxation listen to music have a bath read something nice take time out from your study and have this time just for your self try to be confident and don't take to much on board work wise

i don't know your past but you say you were on medication it maybe

that you need something just to help you as some relapses in depression or other mental health problems needs catching quick

so see your doctor and other professionals that can help you

talk with your parents of the difficulties you are going through

good luck and get this sorted

and get back on track

Answer 9

dude i totally feel you bro, i been try and trust me go see the doctor get some medication and ask him to refer you to a counselor now so you can talk there is no shame in the meds or the conselorl so just do it that is what its for it really helped me but you got to stick to it even when you feel better cause thats the reason you feel better lol and then hopefully when you go back to uni you have some good friends, and hey sometimes your friends are the best family in the world  good luck either way man and take care

Answer 10

Firstly I think you should get your parents to accompany you to one of your sessions.  I don't think they understand that depression is not something you can snap out off.  They need someone to explain to them that you need their help and understanding now more than ever.  Secondly you should phone a helpline they are open 24/7 and they are trained to help you.  And lastly if this is something that you have been struggling with your entire life maybe you should look at medicine ask your counselor to give you something different to what you used try everything until you find something that works for you.  I honestly hope that you get the help you need before you decide to try for a 3rd time.  Good luck

Answer 11

Get help immediately!  It's a slippery slop and you don't want to fall again.  I've ben there, trust me.  I spent years dealing and not dealing with my depression.  You may have to face the fact that some people have to be on meds for the rest of their lives, one of those people may be you. I took me years to accept that I needed help.  I finally got medication and counseling.  You really need to talk to you family members, if you mom and dad don't understand, talk to someone else.  They need to realize how serious your situation is.  The only thing you can do to stop things from getting worse to to help yourself.  I know it's very hard in your situation.  Please know that there is hope.
